Engineering

“Theory without practice is the foundation without the superstructure. Practice without theory is the superstructure without the foundation. The former is useless; the latter is dangerous.”

 William Noyce Kernot, first Chair of Civil Engineering in Australia, 1875


I'm not sure what that means if you want awesome CNC machining

4 Advantages of CNC machining your product



here are numerous advantages CNC machines have over traditional manual manufacturing, and these are just some of the reasons we use them.  

1. There are a lot of unique products that cannot be manufactured with only manual machines.  CNC machines however are programmed with advanced design and numerical software that allows for novel design to be manufactured with ease.

2. The number of employees within a factory drastically decreases with the aid of CNC machines as usually only one person is needed.  Once the CNC machines are programmed they are automated.  This in turn cuts down our clients costs.

3. Your time and money is noticeably saved and the only real maintenance needed for CNC machines are the occasional cutting tool replacement.

4. CNC machines can repeat the manufacturing process of a product with accurate precision. Unlike manual manufacturing where the same final product will actually have minor differences.

How do we get the right product finish?

Machinists utilise their skill and expertise to produce the most aesthetically pleasing and accurate components possible.  They take pride in their work as do their clients.  A good surface finish and the general look of parts are very important aspects which require the most ideal machining practices to be used.  So how do machinists get the results they want? The following is by no means extensive but it give a little insight:

Use an insert with a wiper

If you can, make sure your manufacturer uses an insert with a wiper.  These have a flat section like the second image in the diagram above.  This flat part ensures that the surface is wiped smooth as the tool moves across the outside of the part.  You can also avoid a finish that has thread elements to it.

Increase the speed

When using cutting tools a rise in the speed of the tool will make sure that your part is touching the tip of the tool for a smaller time period.  This minimizes the material build-up on the end of the tool which can in turn make the surface finish less than ideal. 

Reduce pauses

When a tool stops while it is still touching the surface it can leave a mark on the part.  If you make sure to minimise the number of pauses and hesitations of your tool you can ensure a better surface finish.  You may need to change the entire manufacturing procedure.

5 tips to finding the right CNC manufacturer

In our many years of experience and expertise we found that it’s pivotal to explore a set list of conditions when deciding on a manufacturer for your product.  Whether it be a simple one-off private job or a part for series production. 

We advise you ask the following questions:
  • What are their machining capabilities? 
It makes sense to subcontract to one company that can do everything instead of four, for the one project.  To ensure that you save time and money on paperwork and administration be sure to check a company’s manufacturing capabilities.  Your work will remain efficient and you’ll thank yourself later

  • Is the company motivated, but not scraping the barrel for work?
You want to work with a company that want to achieve results for you.  They need to be working with current technology and updated with the latest communication tools (social media, etc.).  If a company is motivated they will provide the quality you require and be able to fulfil their tasks within a projected lead-time that suits your needs best.    As a business involved in precision manufacturing we also recognize that when you’re spending a lot of money you expect to receive a high quality product and value for your money.

  • Do they understand how to interpret prints?
I’m sure there have been countless times you thought you were getting a great deal on an item only to find that the parts did not match the prints.  Before liaising with manufacturers you need to make sure you’re working with an organization that can interpret prints properly.  If there are any disputes or enquiries they need to call you immediately instead of making their own decisions on what they think is correct.

  • Do they have a capability to make design changes to a part?
You may be thinking that since you design everything yourself this shouldn’t be too important.  Be careful! That is a very dangerous thought.  Machinists who have the ability to run CAD programs like SolidWorks are competent at making quick and important changes to designs.  They will always have a deeper understanding of tolerances and the needs for the end product as well as methods to simplify the manufacturing process.

  • How well does the company understand geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)?
GD&T is still very important when considering the standardization of designs.  It is in in place to ensure parts work well and are built to last.  In recent years there has been a dramatic rise in companies that are not as adept at GD&T and as result their business suffers for it.   At ALNO we utilise GD&T in all stages of our manufacturing process while ensuring that all our parts are produced exactly how our customers need them.
